Owner Builder Requirements: As the owner  of a one-family or two-family residential property, if you reside in the home you can act as your own contractor with certain restrictions. You can read about these restrictions in the Owner-Builder Affidavit & Disclosure Statement form, which must be completed by the property owner and notarized. This affidavit must be submitted with your permit application.
